Royal rice bug, worm worm!

The separation of Li Xi and Wei Yu was unanimously decided by several big bosses.

Li Xianzhi's thinking is more domineering, but he can't understand that Li Xi is full of Wei Yu, but Wei Yu looks calm and breezy.

——My family is like this, no matter how good Wei Yu treats Li Xi, she doesn't think it's enough.

Saints are motivated by political considerations.

He didn't want Li Xi to marry a male concubine, and he didn't want to waste Wei Yu's rare talent, and he didn't want the two of them to mess around all day long and tarnish each other's reputation.

Right now is the critical period for the selection of the prince, and he doesn't want this to be a reason for the elite to criticize Li Xi.

The queen mother is entirely out of the purpose of loving her grandson.

"Cecchi, think about it carefully. Ever since we met, have you picked him up every day and kept saying that you would marry him as a princess? Did he take the initiative once?"

"There are also..." Li Xi felt slightly guilty, "Last time outside my mother's door, he was the one who begged me to marry him, and even made me a little golden nest."

While talking, he took out the golden bug nest and showed it to the Queen Mother.

"Silly boy." Seeing his earnest appearance, the queen mother felt distressed, "You have always been so sticky, without hindrance or quarrel, you only enjoy the sweetness brought by your feelings, but you don't know the hidden truth behind it. bitter."

"If you can always be sweet, why go through hardship?"

"There is something you can't eat if you don't want to eat it." The Queen Mother sighed softly.

"If you want to be a prince, you will have to face much more troubles in the future. There will be ministers persecuting you, marrying the daughter of a powerful man, and giving birth to heirs; there may also be a Taoist priest who will touch the pillar and die in front of you; the whole world Literati and students will write articles to scold you; various envoys and feudal lords may use this opportunity to crusade against you...Have you ever thought about this?"

Li Xi was stunned, and said, "Grandmother is right, could it be too serious?"

The queen mother patted him and sighed softly: "These are all things your parents have encountered before."

After Li Hong ascended the throne, he visited Cui's house once, and wanted to ask Zheng Jiarou face to face why he married Cui Yuan.

However, he didn't even see Zheng Jiarou's face, because Cui Yuan's mother stopped in front of the door and threatened him with a white silk, if he stepped into the gate of Cui's house, he would be hanged at Chengtianmen.

On the second day, Cui Yuan handed over the booklet for going to Qianzhou.

Li Hong naturally disagreed, but there were admonishing officials who tried their best to admonish him directly.

For a while, the literati were furious, and the vassal kings everywhere were ready to move. If Zheng Jiarou hadn't desperately begged the heads of the Cui and Zheng families to come forward, Li Hong would not be able to sit on the throne at all.

Li Xi felt a little distressed, "Have they thought about giving up?"

"They've already given up."

At the beginning, Zheng Jiarou chose to marry Cui Yuan; Li Hong also compromised and let her go.

"This is not the most painful thing. At least, your grandfather and your mother are still alive."

The Empress Dowager's gaze became distracted, as if she saw something in the void—it was the deceased Emperor, her childhood sweetheart.

They met at the age of four, got married at the age of six, got married at the age of 16, went to war, changed dynasties, and years of natural disasters did not let them separate, but they did not cross the hurdle of "death".

At that time, if there were not Li Hong and Li Xi who needed her care, she would have followed the late emperor.

"Chechi, you can't just have Wei Yu in your life, you also have to pretend to be other people and things. If you can't bear it if you just separate for a short time, how will you deal with the many sufferings and boredom in the future?"

The queen mother patted Li Xi on the shoulder, "Just try it, try him, and try yourself."

Li Xi nodded sullenly.

I still feel uncomfortable and can't figure it out.

Until Zheng Jiarou entered the palace to greet the queen mother, he didn't get excited.

Zheng Jiarou would enter the palace once every five days, and each time she would bring a small gift that the Queen Mother liked, the last time it was the jujube flower cake from Fuyuan Building, this time it was wintersweet flowers.

"Your grandmother likes narrow-necked bottles, and a single color can be used to match them. I have people cut the multi-branched wintersweet, so that one branch can fill a bottle. There are six branches in total. Put one branch in each bedroom, and she can smell the fragrance of wintersweet wherever she goes."

Zheng Jiarou was talking to Li Xi with a smile while pruning the flower branches.

Li Xi was also pruning, relying on his own strength to cut two branches in one go, but accidentally cut off the head of a beautiful flower branch...

Quickly grabbed it and threw it into the bottle, jokingly diverted Zheng Jiarou's attention, "I said, why do I like wintersweet so much? It turns out that I was influenced by my grandmother."

Zheng Jiarou pursed her lips and smiled, and followed his words: "Not only you, but also the County Lord Funing, the reason why he loves flowers and loves growing flowers is all influenced by his mother."

"Oh oh oh, no wonder mother and second sister are as beautiful as flowers." Li Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had escaped a catastrophe.

Then, the "broken head" flower branch behind her was taken by Zheng Jiarou.

"Patience is the most important thing to grow flowers. You are eager for success, but you can't get it in the end." Zheng Jiarou turned her beautiful eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Do you think so, Xiao Chongchong?"

Li Xi blushed, mother was pointing at him...

"Mother also thinks, shouldn't I be too close to Brother Shuyun?"

"There are different forms of intimacy, some are physical intimacy, but the heart is not necessarily in one place; some are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but the heart never moves."

Zheng Jiarou raised her eyes and looked at the gazebo on the other side of the lake. There was a bright yellow figure standing in the pavilion.

The other party has no intention of coming over, and Zheng Jiarou will not go there either. For the "gathering" once every five days, if you can catch a glimpse from a distance, you will be satisfied.

At least, it's much better than before.

"Is there no husband and wife who can't share the same bed and have different dreams, but can also be intimate?"

"Yes, but it needs to be managed."

Zheng Jiarou led him, walked slowly to the lake, and changed his voice: "Brother Yuan took Lan Xin to visit me yesterday, and accidentally mentioned something."

"Do you still have contact with him?" Li Xi's boss was not happy.

Zheng Jiarou covered her lips and smiled, "I've known Brother Yuan since childhood, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have known the saint either, these years we are like brothers, the saint also knows."

Li Xi snorted: "Then what did he say?"

"Speaking of Wei Shaoqing..."

Li Xi's expression suddenly changed, "What's the matter, Brother Storyteller Yun?"

Zheng Jiarou said nothing, turned around and walked under the silk tree, looked at the lucky bag on the tree, with a smile in her eyes.

Li Xi hurriedly followed, "Mother, Cui Yuan, no, what did Uncle Cui say?"

Zheng Jiarou chuckled, how many lifetimes of blessings did she cultivate to give birth to such a peerless cutie?

"The sage intends to transfer Wei Shaoqing to the household department, as the fourth-rank servant, and in charge of the warehouse department."

Li Xi got excited when he heard that, brother Shuyun punished him to recite it, the warehouse department in the household department manages the military ration reserves, official salary rations and disaster relief rations of Quan Daye, the most important thing.

"Brother Shuyun will definitely do well, he is the best at settling accounts."

"But, he refused."

Li Xi was taken aback, "Why?"

As soon as the words are exported, in fact

I know the answer.

Zheng Jiarou sighed softly and didn't say any more.

Among Li Xi's relatives, she is the only one who can think from Wei Yu's standpoint. She understands Wei Yu and his heart.

But she can't dismantle the empress dowager and the sage, and she doesn't want to mislead Li Xi, letting Li Xi know that Wei Yu's dedication is the only thing she can do.

Zheng Jiarou raised her hand, untied the lucky bag on the acacia tree, took out a letter paper folded into a heart shape from the bag, put another letter in it, and hung the lucky bag back on the tree again.

Li Xi's mood surged.

The stinky father is on the other side of the lake, obviously he can come over, and his mother can also go there, anyway, no one dares to stop him, so why use this...uh, cheating way to send a message?

Li Xi didn't figure it out until dinner time.

The cook made Li Xi's favorite fried fish and eggplant strips.

The eggplant strips are sautéed with sweet sauce, half with garlic and half with cornel juice.

Wei Yu doesn't like to eat eggplant firstly, and secondly, he doesn't like to eat garlic. Every time he comes to Changle Palace, Li Xi will deliberately put a big chopsticks on him, watch him eat it maliciously, finish it calmly, and then He cast a helpless look at himself.

There are also fried small fish, no matter at home or in Changle Palace, Wei Yu helps him pick out the thorns every time, and then arranges the fish into a complete shape, which can satisfy his little thought of "eating one at a time".

Li Xi subconsciously pushed the dish aside, "Brother Shu Yun, stab."

It was only after he finished speaking that he realized that his brother Shu Yun was not there.

The Queen Mother and Zheng Jiarou looked at each other and sighed.

Li Xi suddenly figured it out, this is how he gets along with Wei Yu!

Smelly father and mother have their own way of getting along, and so do he and Wei Yu, everyone is different.

Grandma was not right either, Smelly Father and Mother never gave up, they just changed their way to protect their love.

However, 16 years of lovesickness is far beyond what people can bear.How many 16 years can there be in life?

Li Xi knew very well that he couldn't bear it himself.

Not to mention 16 years, not even [-] days.

If it is destined that there will be accidents in the future, then you should not waste time on paying for the pain in advance. Instead, you should cherish the present, be intimate, and wait until the accident comes, so that you will not regret it.

So, cherish the moment.

Li Xi threw the fried fish into his mouth in one breath, chewed carelessly, and didn't care whether he tied it or not. He finished eating early and tried to find a way to escape from the palace to find Brother Shuyun.

However, before he could think of a way, Wei Yu came.

He didn't come to see Li Xi, but to ask to see the Queen Mother.Li Xi was locked in the room by Dou Qingtai, unable to get out, and could only hear Wei Yu and the Queen Mother talking.

"I heard that my mother has been looking for this kind of short-branch wintersweet, and I happened to get a pot, so I sent it to my mother."

The queen mother couldn't hide her surprise: "Sure enough, it's small and exquisite, like a delicate bonsai."

Wei Yu nodded, "When it freezes outside, you can move it into the house, and the flowers will bloom for a longer time."

The Empress Dowager asked suspiciously, "I have asked people to search Chang'an for this kind of plum tree, but how did you find it?"

"There is a gardener in the south of the city, known as Chen Liuzhi. His ancestors have been tending plum trees for generations. This dwarf wintersweet is a new variety that took decades for three generations of his family to grow."

The queen mother took a breath, "Then he is willing to give it to you?"

"It's not for the minister, but for the empress. The empress is kind and generous, and she often helps the poor in the south of the city. The common people remember it in their hearts. Knowing that the empress wants this plum tree, the Chen family is very happy."

Wei Yu pushed the credit out in a few words.

The queen mother was not confused, and said with a smile: "You, don't talk to me. I just ask, did you get this tree by scaring people with your official rank?"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much." Wei Yu held his hand and said sincerely, "My Majesty will be free one day, I can call the daughter-in-law and young lady of the Chen family, and ask your Majesty to have a look."

"No need, I believe you." The queen mother smiled, "I will reward them with some cloth jewelry, and you will bring them there for me."

Wei Yu bowed in response.

The Queen Mother looked at the plum tree and sighed in her heart, she didn't ask for such a good thing, but Wei Yu got it.

You don't need to think about it to know how much thought has been put into it.

The empress dowager was moved, so she didn't go around the bush, "Are you here to read the books?"

Wei Yu was waiting for this sentence, and immediately lifted up the hem of his clothes, and knelt down in front of the queen mother, "I dare you to ask your mother to marry me."

The queen mother was puzzled, "Isn't it already promised to you, what more do you ask for?"

"The previous promise was an imperial decree, a marriage between the heavenly family and the courtiers. Today, Yu begged my grandmother to marry your beloved grandson to me."

"In Yu's life, he never expected to get the sincerity of others until he met the prince. If he had never had it, Yu would not have asked for it. Now that he has it, Yu would never let it go."

"Yu wants to be selfish for a while and keep the prince by his side. No matter the future is turbulent or prosperous, Yu wants to pull the prince to face it together."

The Empress Dowager said: "Life is too long, how can you tell for sure? Chuche is now a teenager, and the freshness can last for one year, two years, ten years, and ten years later?"

Wei Yu's expression was calm, but his tone was firm: "It doesn't matter whether it is a year or ten years, as long as the prince still wants me, I will accompany him to fight with a sword and gallop in style; if one day he gets tired of it, I will return to being a courtier." As a duty, let him rule the world and be the master of a generation."

The Empress Dowager said: "What if he can't become the prince? Can you still be the young minister of Dali Temple?"

"If you really get to that point, it doesn't matter if you don't serve as an official." No one is more suitable for that position than Li Xi.

A smile flashed across Wei Yu's eyes, and he said, "Your Majesty, you know that the lord has already bought land in the outskirts of the city and built a peach blossom garden. He wants to take your Majesty and ministers with him to pick chrysanthemums and cultivate fields."

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, she still shook her head, "Boy Wei, you are a person with big ambitions, and you pretend to be the world's people in your heart, why do you do that?"

Wei Yu raised his head and said slowly: "I have people in the world in my heart, and people in the world may not care about me."

"Fu Wang cares."
